The speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Mike Johnson may leave his position because of the decline in support among Republicans. According to the newspaper, Johnson remains in his position only with the support of the chosen President Donald Trump, but this advantage can be temporary.
The election of a new speaker can take place in less than two weeks, and Republicans are already actively discussing Johnson's replacement. One of the main reasons for dissatisfaction is the absence in the draft law on continuing the government's funding for raising the limit of public debt, which Trump hardly demanded.
According to The Hill sources, a group of republican congressmen tries to convince Donald Trump to give up Johnson's support. Party representatives believe that the speaker was unable to provide this important point in the budget, which caused a significant disappointment among their series.
In particular, Trump may distract from Johnson because of disputes over budget expenditures and failure to meet certain requirements that leave it on the verge of a political crisis. In the event of a loss among one party members, Johnson can become one of the most short -term speakers of the House of Representatives in US history.
